Stopped here on Saturday with my partner and parents, and we all absolutely loved it! In fact, we loved it that much, we were straight down to reception on Sunday morning to book another night.

The rooms are gorgeous, with luxurious dark greens and blacks seeming to be the theme. I used to work at a prestigious country hotel in East Yorkshire, with the cheapest rooms going for around £150 a night. The rooms at the Globe Hotel make those look like Travelodge, and at a third of that price, are a must-visit!

The hotel is situated in the centre of King's Lynn, above the Wetherspoon's bar, where good food and drink are served in a friendly and up-beat atmosphere. Beautiful beer garden and outdoor seating, looking onto the estuary. Perfect for an evening drink in the sun!

Would highly recommend Room 203, as it is extremely spacious, with a view looking onto Tuesday Market Square. My parents stopped in Room 210, just as beautiful, but a little bit on the small side! (Only glitch!)

Room Tip: Room 203 is a must!

Sandringham and Hunstation is one of my favourite places to visit, at any time of year.

Excellent staff, lovely room, they did warn us in advance of the noise from the in-house music so we requested-and were given-one of the quieter rooms. Great location near to shops, bus and rail station. Would definitely stay again.

This is our first stay at a Wetherspoons Hotel and I must say we were very impressed with the booking in and reception staff. Parking restrictions were explained as there is a large pay and display carpark (£1 overnight fee) or normal road parking from 6pm to 8am. We were also told about the bar/restaurant opening and closing times. Our room was on the second floor and was accessible by lift or stairs. The room was a standard fitted room, keyless entry/light activation card used here. The bed was comfortable, lighting good, tea making facilities and bottled water (still and sparkling) Hair drier, large wall mounted television, spare towels in wardrobe. Because it was an old building the floors were sloping and you had to go uphill to get into the bathroom. Maybe not suitable for those with mobility issues. After we had freshened up we went down to have a meal in the restaurant at about 9pm, the place was filling up with people using the pub but there was plenty of tables free by the entrance away from the bar/music area. We both ordered the same meal which was the Gourmet Burger with a side order of Half Rack of Ribs. The food came at a reasonable time but once we started to eat we soon found out why. The chips were barely warm and the ribs weren't that far behind in the warmth race. No condiments were on the table and werent brought when the food was served and we had to ask for them. When we had the standard 'How is your meal' question we explained why we were not happy. Giving the cold chip to the member of staff they said they would get some more chips for us. By the time we had nearly finished our burgers a bowl of hot chips arrived, so hot they couldn't be eaten straight away. Shame that didn't happen when we had our food initially!When we finished eating we went back to our room and as we went past the receptionist she asked how was the meal. When we told her she said she would contact the duty manager and later on we received a letter offering free complimentary breakfasts for both of us. I cannot praise the receptionist highly enough she represented Wetherspoons superbly and she had only been working there for 7 weeks!As we had both been working all day we went to bed around midnight but with the ever increasing volume of noise from outside sleep was not possible until 2am! Resulting in a poor nights sleep which was not a good preparation for the next days work.On handing over the complimentary breakfast letter we were told this did not include drinks and we would have to pay for this which as we both had coffee £2.30 seemed a fair price to pay for 2 coffee's. When we did get breakfast it was the standard Wetherspoons breakfast except this time the toast was cold and the small packs of butter were a hard to spread cold lump! Again when we were asked if everything was ok she actually got a negative answer and she was told about the toast. Her reply was that she thought the that the butter was hard thats why it was difficult to spread not the fact the the toast was cold! Nothing was done to resolve this so we finished breakfast, returned to our room, packed, left vowing never to use the hotel again or recommend to anyone! As a seasoned Wetherspoons diner in many places in the UK this is the worst place to date. It seems they are happy to run the bar but food is an afterthought or even an inconvenience to the day to day running of this establishment.A letter has been sent to Wetherspoons but based on other peoples attempts to get a response from Head Office it will probably be a futile attempt to gain their attention.

Dear Teejayh

Thank you for taking the time to post your review of your recent stay with us. We appreciate all feedback, both good and bad so we can strive to improve our service.I am delighted to hear you found our reception team very informative, friendly and helpful, this is a point of pride for us. The Globe Hotel is a grade two listed building and was first recorded in 1650, which I hope you can appreciate, does mean some of the floors around the hotel have a slight slope to them. We have some rooms available where the floors don’t slope, along with a wheelchair access room with a wet room very close to our lift, to offer to guests with mobility issues.We are very disappointed to hear the food you received was not up to our usual standard. Both the hotel and pub team always strive to give the best possible service and the team work hard to deliver good food, comfortable accommodation and a friendly atmosphere and we are disappointed to note on this occasion we fell slightly below our usual high standard.I apologise that this has caused your stay to be less than pleasurable and would like to assure you I have passed on your comments to the management team, who are looking in to your review further with the kitchen and bar team.JD Wetherspoon contacts all customers who leave feedback either online, by post or by telephone. Once we have received notification of your complaint from our head office, a duty manager will be in contact with you.

If you wish to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to contact the hotel on 01553 668000 to speak to a duty manager.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to post your review, and we do hope this matter will not cause you to put us out of mind on your next visit to Kings Lynn.

We stayed here for 2 nights over the Mothers Day weekend. We booked a room on the first floor. The lady on reception did warn us that we may well be disturbed by the music from the bar on the Saturday night and gave us the option of changing the room. We decided to stay where we were, and although it was fairly loud, I have to say it didn't bother us. The room was lovely, with really nice quality huge towels, a good powerful shower and a comfy bed. No complaints at all. We have stayed in much more expensive hotels where the rooms were not as good. Service in the bar was sometimes a little slow, but it was a very busy weekend. The food was very typically Wetherspoons food, but perfectly fine and excellent value. All in all, we had a great weekend. Excellent value for money.

We stayed on a Saturday night and were warned on arrival that as we were in a first floor room we would be aware of the music from the bar below. Wasn't a problem since we didn't go to bed until after any music had stopped. Reception staff were helpful offering parking advice without being asked. Ample parking nearby but the council charge for overnight parking (£1) this ends at 8am thankfully we were told how to extend it . Room well equipped with top quality equipment including one of those expensive Dyson blade less fans.

Food was above average quality for Wetherspoons and the service was cheerful and quick. One of the benefits of staying in a Wetherspoons Hotel is you can set up at sub in the bar and pay on departure.
